New Years Predictions

Happy New Years everyone! In good taste here is my list of predictions for the most important occurrences in 2007.


1. Scalpers breathe a sigh of relief when a serial killer who went around killing anyone who bought a PS3 to sell it on ebay is finally caught.

2. Blizzard is the target of a class action lawsuit from wives whose husbands are addicted to WoW.

3. Windows Vista looks as beautiful as promised. In fact it looks so good that no one even cares when 95% of users are hacked in the first week.

4. AMD, in order to turn up the heat on Intel, creates an 18 socket motherboard. Intel replies with higher clocked CPU's and larger heat sinks.

5. Duke Nukem Forever will be given a release date for late 2008. Gamers' exuberance wains when the trailer is a flip book drawn on a stack of post-it notes.

6. The Phantom is found out to be a scam for investors' money. You knew it was only a matter of time.

7. Due to a wrist strap failure the first case of Wii remote impalement will be reported.

8. Nintendo will redesign the DS. Not only will it be sleeker, have longer batter life, and a larger screen, it can also be used as a Wii-remote.

9. Apple will get into the video game business with their own console. It will cost more than any other console with less power, but it will be totally stable and shiny white.

10. Sony wins the next-DVD format war when they actually become competitive in price.

11. The value of WoW's currency is greater than that of the dollar. The IRS responds by adding an IRS agent at the end of every dungeon.

12. A new fad begins on Second Life: people begin to log on to virtual computers to play Third Life.
